According to the Los Angeles Times, Griffin’s deal is for five years and $175 million.

“With Chris Paul now out of the picture, this will mark the first time since his rookie year that Griffin is the focal point of Los Angeles’ offense,” Hoops Rumors wrote. ” This, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman implies, could have increased the likelihood of a deal.”

Griffin averaged 21.6 points and 8.1 rebounds in 61 games last season. He played in just three playoff games before getting injured.
